Itinerary description

It’s a pretty nice hike in the summer, too, but avoid it when it’s above 85 degrees: the hillside, which is almost completely exposed, is much warmer than the city below.

Dogs are allowed on the trail and it’s common to see exhausted pooches waddling their way up the hill or collapsing in the shade.

This out-and-back hike is by far the most popular route up to Mission Peak. For a much less-used but more difficult route see the Horse Heaven page.
